New Year in New York
New York fascinates and horrifies you. Everything at a glance. For those who do not go running away, here are ten essential proposals for those visiting for the first time the Big Apple.
1- Statue of Liberty
In a city in which anyone has been through the TV or the big screen, one has the feeling of standing on New York until he sees the Statue of Liberty. Before boarding the ferry at Battery Park, perfect snack (y free) is to make the journey to Staten Island, with superb views of Ms. Liberty. At night it is even more spectacular.
2- Central Park
The green heart of Manhattan must visit, to be, a Sunday, when New Yorkers take to escape the city park asphalt and skyscrapers and street songwriters pursue their American dream in their gardens. It's just an illusion, because steel and concrete moles completely surround Central Park, but the traveler can forget for a minute that lurks out there civilization. El monument to Lennon, a few feet from where a mad talent silenced forever, on the west side, and the Metropolitan, in the east, two visits are very desirable.
3- Brooklyn Bridge
Go on foot, from one end to another, is one of my weaknesses. Board the metro (blue line) y bájese en “Hight Street”, in the neighborhood of Brooklyn, across the East River. After crossing a small park, is indicated to the bridge climb stairs. Getting to Manhattan costs a little less than an hour (course, lingering with the pictures and enjoying the view). You get to Pier 17, an entertainment area and restaurants with vintage boats where beer tastes heavenly.
4- Times Square
In Times Square throbbing life of the city that never sleeps as elsewhere in Manhattan. The traveler finds here, if you had not guessed already, that New York was walking, and much, looking at the sky. The show is always over our heads. Neon Lights, bright, stratospheric ads, buildings vying for close to Olympus. Occasionally, yes, take a look at ground level and discover in the other (Turistas) the same fascination that makes you wander a face similar to the great Paco Martínez Soria.
When parts of the show is always (especially at night) es Times Square, board the Marriot hotel's revolving restaurant (on one side, adjacent to Plaza). The view is simply sublime. Addition, not very expensive.
5- Broadway
If Manhattan is a show in itself, Broadway is your best billboard. You should go to see a musical, although not understand English or potato. The cheapest option is the "Visitor Center Information", Same Times Square (Broadway climbing, right hand). In the box office can get Cheap tickets 50%. Not to be confused with the Ticket Center there on the Plaza, much busier. The discount applies to the box office to buy tickets.
6- Jazz session at Birdland
At the intersection of the street 42 to 8th Ave, 315 West (enough about Times Square) Birdland is located, a historic jazz club in New York who has heard him play at the largest. You can dine or just taking one drink (the cheapest option). It is best to reserve a table.
7- De Chinatown al Soho
Chinatown is inescapable visit, not only to take stock of imitations, but to wander through the maze of streets that lead off of Canal Street. On the other side is Little Italy. El restaurante "Da Gennaro", at the corner of Mulberry with Hester, good pasta was well past stage a bloody reckoning mobster (on the route of the Mafia in New York published a report in VaP.: https://www.viajesalpasado.com/nueva-york-el-rastro-de-la-mafia-en-little-italy/). Very near Chinatown is the stylish Soho, with its distinctive wrought iron stairs, of those by escaping the bad guys in the movies. A good place to have a coffee or browse in stores Art Deco.
8- Listen gospel
Several agencies attending Masses offered in the gospel is sung by a 50 per person. In times of crisis it is best to seek the church on our own. The St.. Mark, Methodist, is at the intersection of St. Nicholas Avenue and the street 138, a Harlem. There is a subway Parada (135 Street Station) very near the temple. Quite an experience, the atmosphere is festive and chants, plethoric, whole display of pace and faith; but the trades are eternal, forcing mass leave in half. Please, on whether ocurra poneros shooting.
9- Empire State Building
You can go up at any time of day (better early morning), but first peek because lines tend to be formidable. They get 105 meteoric floors in an elevator in a few seconds. Up, the views are amazing. Below, Manhattan at our feet (see the photograph of the famous Macy's from atop the Empire).
10- The Bronx
Shop around for the Bronx is New York peek into does not appear in the catalogs of travel. For those who dare to venture alone, several agencies offer a tour of the Fort Apache. One, Ar-Col, has speaking guides very professional.
